between the cable curls and the start of the lower shaft. Once
this is completed you should be able to see approximately 6
inches (150mm) of cable between the coil yoke and the
search coil. This is the slack necessary to allow adjustment to
the angle of the search coil.
To replace the coil cable access panel ensure that the
STEP 8
coil cable aligns with the semicircular hole at the side of
the coil yoke and gently ease the coil cable access panel
into the top of the recess until its prongs are well within
